This time Sam and Max star in Night of the Raving Dead and will head to Germany where they will go up against an emo vampire and zombies who like to get their freak on. The third episode in Beyond Time and Space&nbs...

The App Store has developed quite an audience for tower defense style games as of late. So it’s no surprise to see a variety of games use different gimmicks and twists. However, Sega’s recent take on the gen...

Sega calls Samurai BloodShow a "comically vicious action tower defense game." All of those words speak to me. But they left out the card aspect.
This game is not afraid to be nerdy, and I love it for that. Samurai BloodS...

I will admit it: dubstep is one of my guilty pleasures. It just makes me want to ride on top of perilously fast elevators while firing magic missiles at monsters and dodging their seeping maws. Oddly specific, I know, but ap...

You may remember that back in February Activision took an axe to its stable of rhythm franchises. Regrettably, they also laid off a good number of the folks who had previously worked on those games. It's never good when...

If you have never heard about Silicon Sisters Interactive, or their recently released game School 26: Summer of Secrets, that's alright. Their game, sequel to School 26, is a social sim for the iOS that puts players in the sh...

Scribblenauts Remix, or as my younger cousin calls it, "Scribblesnot" has a lot to be thankful for. As of today, the rooster-headed wordsmith simulator has sold over one million copies on iOS. To celebrate, in true iOS fashio...

Hankering for some Secret of Mana action but prefer to relegate your RPG sessions to mobile devices these days? You'll be happy to hear that the classic role-playing adventure Secret of Mana is releasing for Android devices t...

Serious Sam developers Devolver Digital have decided that one new game in the series is not enough and have partnered with Be-Rad Entertainment to make a slightly different game for iOS and Android devices. Serious...

I still get giddy over Sir Dan in MediEvil using his own arm as a starting weapon. In Severed, you'll hack up enemies and use their body parts to make you even stronger.
And, like Guacamelee, it's stylish as heck.

CyberConnect2, the studio behind recent titles like Asura's Wrath and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, have a new iOS game coming out. Shadow Escaper is basically a runner, but there's a twist to the standard formu...

Starting today, developer Zojoi and its publisher Reverb Triple XP will be updating the re-imagined point-and-click adventure title Shadowgate to include the 128K Mac and Apple IIGS versions of the game, free of charge....

Shadow art is one of the cool things I've seen on the Internet and marveled at, knowing I could never come close to creating something similar. Taking three-dimensional objects and arranging them in such a way that they cast...

Shadowrun Returns' main expansion, Dragonfall, is getting a stand-alone Director's Cut on September 18. This is a trailer for that. With the expansion you can expect, "5 all-new missions, alternate endings, ne...

Although Shantae: Risky's Revenge started off as a DSiWare game, it eventually was available to play on the 3DS, and was ported to iOS. Now it's heading to the PC with a few new extras. The first most obvious addition is the...

Shaquille O'Neal has returned to gaming thanks to Hiptic Games, the developer of ShaqDown. An appropriately ridiculous-looking Android and iOS title available as of today, this $0.99 game isn't going to win any awards for or...

Sharknado: The Video Game is out now, you know. It's the kind of thing people will have strong opinions about, the type of rash and fiery opinions that make the Internet go round.
My thoughts on this iOS endless runner ...

I've drained my iPhone's battery a few dozen times playing Shin Megami Tensei ($5.99, iPhone, available now) these past few weeks, so I felt it was time to weigh in with my impressions on this vintage role-playing game.

Rad Dragon, the goofs behind The Moonlighters, are making a shoving simulator for iOS. In Shove Pro, players take on the role of fictional stuntman Lars Speedwagon, who creates fabulous displays of shoving across European ci...

Today a handful of interesting looking mobile games were released and instead of doing a bunch of posts, I figured I'd just round them all up. Well, at least the most interesting looking ones that were in our tips box today.
...

Civilization Revolution was an interesting thing. As it was pared down to function well on consoles, handhelds, and eventually mobile devices, many diehards considered it dumbed down from the roots of the series. Still, it so...

Avant-garde shoot-'em-up Sine Mora is this week's addition to the Instant Game Collection on PlayStation Plus. Subscribers will be able to freely download the Vita version of the collaborative project from Grasshopper Manufac...

I've given up trying to defend Gameloft. It knows what its doing and doesn't need the protection, so here's yet another shamelessly "inspired" game coming soon to mobile devices -- Six Guns.
This open-world cowboy game...

Simple graphics, twitch gameplay, and fresh music constitute a good formula for mobile gaming. Titles like this allow for a quick bit of play during minutes of downtime, and can paradoxically keep players going for long perio...

Earlier this week, indie mobile game developer Insurgent Games made all of their iOS and Android games free to download. On top of that, they have also made their source code for all the titles available to download from thei...

What do you get when you cross a super mathematical show with the mobile game Ski Safari? Well, Ski Safari Adventure Time would make sense, and that's just what is launching today on the Google Play and iTunes marketplaces. I...

Flick, flick, flick. That’s all you’ll be doing in Skullduggery. Flicking to collect treasure. Flicking to outrun bosses. Flicking to line up stealthy headshots on unsuspecting enemies. You can play the game howe...

Skulls of the Shogun has launched on iOS, and is available to download via the App Store.
17-BIT's humorous turn-based strategy game, which originally launched on Windows 8, Xbox Live Arcade, and Windows Phone at the beg...

Sometimes, you'll come across a game that has no business on a mobile device, utilizing a shoe-horned control scheme that was seemingly crammed into somewhere it didn't belong. Even still, it's not hard to find a game that tr...

Role-playing games have had a long and prosperous history in video and tabletop gaming, but haven't quite repeated this success on mobile and tablet devices. From the minds at Ngmoco comes Skyfall, a free-to-play social RPG ...

Toys For Bob sought to make a quality product that both kids and adults could enjoy in tandem. They greatly succeed with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants.
But as is the case with any runaway IP, one develop...

Alongside complicated and in-depth games in the contemporary market, I tend to enjoy the occasional simplistic gaming affair more than ever. Sometimes, minimalistic games that are nothing more than "hero defeats monster" do more to scratch my gaming itch than anything else.
Sometimes, all it takes is a Knight, a Wizard, and a Thief slashing slimes to bits to really get you going.

I tried Konami's latest money eater this morning. Their iOS, Android, and Kindle title, Slot Revolution, doesn't have the best name. It doesn't do a good job of describing this free-to-play slot machine-based dungeon crawling RPG, but I could tell that it had role-playing roots from the screenshots, so I gave it a spin.
A spin, folks.

Dr. Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering and Gary Games, the company behind Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, have teamed up to create a new digital collectable game which is still looking for funds on Kicks...

Pokémon developer Game Freak is taking its first steps into the mobile market with Solitiba. Initially released on Nintendo 3DS, the hybrid of solitaire and horseback racing is now in the works for Android and iOS devi...

iPhone users looking for a challenging little game might want to, you know, carry on reading here. Brain Connected has today shown off some gameplay footage for their upcoming iOS game Somyeols (do not dare ask me how t...

If you've been jonesing for a new racing game you can carry in your pocket, consider Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which is now free on the App Store as well as Google Play. See, Android users? They didn't forget ...

This week, modern-day Sonic is finally making his way to Mac. Feral Interactive will release its port of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing tomorrow on the Mac App Store for $24.99 with obligatory features like Game...

If you were looking forward to a lasting, multi-episode relationship with Sonic 4...consider this a Dear John letter. In an interview with DigitalSpy, producer and head of Sonic Team Takashi Iizuka says that we'll likely won'...

"Rain chili dogs" is Sonic speak for "release date" (that cartoon influenced me to eat way too many chili dogs back in the day). Just like the first Sonic 4 title, Episode 2 will be coming out for every platform under the sun...

I'm dating myself here, but playing Sonic CD again really took me back. It took me back to a time when I had saved up money from my part-time job (and borrowed a bit more) to buy that really ugly Ver. 2 "sidecar" Sega CD atta...

Not content with taking the Doodle Jump formula and simply placing Sonic in it with Sonic Jump, Sega has tapped a new mobile avenue, the 3D endless runner. Surprisingly, this sub-genre is the one that actually suits Sonic the...

Sonic Jump Fever is now available worldwide via iTunes and Google Play, Sega announced today.
The vertical platformer is a free-to-play sequel to Sonic Jump, which first appeared on Japanese mobile phones in 2005. The experi...

"It looks good if the microtransactions don't ruin it." Why do I get my hopes up for Sonic games? Am I part of the dreaded "Sonic Cycle?" Sometimes. Every so often DIMPS or Sonic Team will crank out a good game like Gen...

As promised, Sonic the Hedgehog ($2.99/£1.99/€2.69) is out now for Android devices via Google Play. Widescreen support at 60 frames per second, a remastered soundtrack, leaderboards, achievements, Time Attack mode,...

A remastered Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is launching on Android on December 13. It comes from the team that created the engine used in the excellent Sonic CD port from a few years ago. Even cooler, it will include a finished, playa...

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was considered a letdown by many longtime fans of the series, mostly due to the fact that its physics were not similar enough to the original Genesis titles. Part of the benefit of an episodic ...

A 20th anniversary bash is happened this weekend in Japan for Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. Tokyo's Odaiba (I love that place!) hosted Sega VIPs and fans to celebrate Sonic's birthday, and it was there that a new iPhone app was ...

For what feels like years now Sons of Anarchy creator and showrunner Kurt Sutter has been teasing an "amazing" game based on the series. While many speculated that it would be a GTA-like PC or console title, we now know...

I was skeptical of Sons of Anarchy at first, but once I realized it was Hamlet on wheels I was in. Its seven season run wasn't perfect (particularly the Belfast plotline), but it kept me thoroughly entertained throu...

While not in the upper echelon of fighting games such as Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom, the SoulCalibur series has enjoyed a loyal following and mass popularity in its ten-plus-year history. With the fifth (proper) ins...

I was and still am in love with the entire day of April 23, 2014. That was the day that lots of my peers ran a fake SoulCalibur: Unbreakable Soul Trailer as a real, legit Namco Bandai release. When I saw it I ran to make a c...

If you're an Android owner like myself, chances are you're probably more than a little envious of all the great games that wind up on the App Store. Luckily, every so often one of those titles makes its way over to the Droid ...

After THQ's dissolution, the Warhammer 40K license was scattered to the winds. We've ended up with an apparently disappointing Space Hulk remake and this upcoming Space Wolf game. What's interesting is that this game is goin...

"F-Zero meets Audiosurf" brings some vivid imagery to mind, but after watching the above trailer, I'm not sure I agree with that tagline for the indie racer Spectra. Sure, it's set to some bumpin' Chipzel tracks, but it look...

Spellocity is a new spelling game out for iOS devices for $.99 and while there are other games out in the market, this title may be more worth your time and the dollar that the devs are asking for it. Instead of drawing a lin...

I previously said that I was a little disappointed with Humble Mobile Bundle 2, so my expectations for the future of Humble Bundle's Android spinoff have been tempered. Today, the Humble Mobile Bundle 3 was announced, and I ...
